$50 Million Special Purpose Fund - Eyes Novel Technological OpportunitiesMURRIETA, CA, June 6, 2016 - Forentis Partners, LLC has announced the launch of Forentis Fund, a $50 million special purpose venture fund focused on biotechnology. The fund's mission is to bring together the people, companies and technologies that are transforming the pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries. The goal is to build an ecosystem around these companies that identifies, validates and protects new medical discoveries. We will then assist in the formation and funding of new business entities that can bring them to market quickly, efficiently and at low cost through advanced methods such as predictive analytics and trial enrichment. The Forentis team is comprised of business and investment professionals and includes experts in science, pharmaceuticals, intellectual property and high technology. The group has had ongoing discussions with two specific companies regarding business development and funding strategies to take advantage of emerging market trends and innovations.

A core goal of the fund is to apply new approaches and technologies to reduce the billions of dollars being wasted in clinical trials. According to PhRMA (Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America), it takes over 10 years and costs more than $2.6 billion to bring a new drug to market. Close to 90% of all drugs entering clinical trials fail, and the failure rate in Phase 3 oncology drug trials is approximately 50%. The fund managers believe that bringing new technologies and approaches to the clinical trial process can speed the process while reducing costs.

About Forentis FundForentis Fund is in the business of saving lives and returning reason to the pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries. The fund is strategically located at the Murrieta Innovation Center in Murrieta, California, providing it with access to the leading biotechnology research centers of Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange County. The fund is within easy driving distance of UCSD, UCR, UCI, UCLA and USC. Forentis Fund is available only to accredited investors. More information on the fund and its investment approach can be found at www.forentis.com. Contact: (951) 704-6792 citynews@murrieta.org

Literati Painting: China's Unique Art Form Thursdays, June 16, 23, 6:30-8:00PM 40 Rector Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10006$25 Members/$30 Non-Members [each lecture] $60 Members/$75 Non-Members [for the series] A classical Chinese poem is a rich tapestry woven with the poet's observations of Nature and the myriad allusions to the lives and events of others. Artists of classical Chinese literature and fine art seem incapable of separating themselves from Nature, a special characteristic that is clearly manifested in the poetic and artistic metaphors in their compositions. In no other literary and artistic form is this phenomenon more evident than in China's Literati Painting, unique to the Chinese culture, yet universal in how it can be relished by all those interested in beauty and art. This lecture will be conducted in English. No previous knowledge of the Chinese language is required. For questions or to register by phone, please contact 212-744-8181 ext. 138
